And one fine morning, the other sites you visit regularly will apply a policy that has become the norm elsewhere.

No matter how they look, no matter what they wear, nobody wants to be sexually assaulted. No one ever does.

A friend of mine works in a fast-fashion boutique. I support child labor, because I know the consequences it could have for her if the clothes were more expensive.

There are different kinds of immortality.

They could be immortal like Deadpool. I don’t think that’s the most interesting option in a cosmic horror setting.

But why would the elder god grant the gift of healing? Why would he prevent the ravages of time? A thousand years from now, the immortal investigator will be no more than a surviving consciousness in a dried-up eye, enshrined in a relic, gazing out at the world for all eternity.

Or what if immortality was just the knowledge of a way to combat the ravages of time, but not violent death? What would be the price to pay? Absorbing the vital energy of other humans (or rarer, more dangerous entities) at regular intervals? Transfering their consciousness from other bodies ?

What would the investigators do to protect themselves physically and organize their survival? They’d need the means, the wealth, and reliable people at their service. How could they ensure their loyalty? How be sure they won’t betray them to acquire their position or their secrets of eternel life?

At what point will they attract the attention of other dark cults or people acting to save humanity, like investigators or government agencies like Delta Green?

At some point, you could even start a new campaign in which their immortal characters are the hidden leaders of a dark cult that threatens the survival of mankind

You’re right. The rules are not the same with your own cats. One of my cats likes long blinks (aka “eye kisses”), and for an other one it’s a call to play and cuddle on the rug.

Also, avoid direct eye contact, and never ever stare into their eyes. This is the equivalent of an oath of blood and despair.

That’s something people who don’t own a cat don’t understand: the less you look at them, the more friendly they think you are (that’s why cats love allergic persons)

Firstly, the more students there are, the less time the teacher can devote to them individually. When there’s a comprehension problem, it’s really in the interaction that things can be sorted out: understanding why the person doesn’t understand, explaining from different angles, etc.

And all the time spent with one person leaves the rest of the group on its own, which can very quickly dissipate all the group’s attention, with a few whispered personal discussions turning into hubbub.

What’s more, the larger the group, the easier and more tempting it is for weak and shy students to hide in the crowd. In a small group, the teacher should regularly check that no one is left behind. With 100 people, this is strictly impossible.

Finally, I don’t believe in the argument that the more people you have, the more friends and studying partners you can find. Socially, we get together in small groups (between 2 and 6, roughly speaking) no matter what’s going on. I think that beyond this limit, there’s a diminishing return (unconsciously): a new person brings less than reinforcing the group’s cohesion. If the group gets any bigger, it’s going to reshape itself by affinity into smaller, tighter-knit groups.

Rating: I don’t believe in rating system. If I say 3/10, can you change 20% of your idea to reach 5/10? What’s 20% of an idea ? Would 5/10 be good enough? Can you change 70% of an idea to reach perfection? In this case, why don’t we live in a perfect world?

Last year, for the first time, a large majority of my students used chatGPT.

This correlated with their skills at the start of the year: the more they lacked (or were lazy), the more they used it. And at the end of the year, they were the ones who had learned the least.

I’m not playing the old fart who thinks young people are getting dumber and dumber. There are beginning to be studies on this, and my little experience is consistent with their results.

Get a PEP treatment as soon as possible

PEP ≠ PREP

It makes a very positive difference, according to their lawyers.

Snakes in Australia are probably venomous and poisonous.

Even with the explanations given here, it’s still very counter-intuitive for me.

I think the best thing would be to cut the person in half, send one half towards the sun and the other half out of the solar system.

Beyond the legal aspect, AI training on artists’ works poses an ethical problem. And when it comes to ethics, I think we can avoid quoting Picasso,

Oh yeah, Picasso. The great artist who was an abusive guy who beat her mistress to paint her crying (The Weeping Woman / Dora Maar).

Reversal of stigma is a common phenomenon among minority groups. That doesn’t mean it’s okay to use the term when you’re not part of the group.

It’s a Trump. They spend an insane amount of money on marketing, but a bad product is a bad product.

Tbh, at first sight I was like “wtf they’re talking about? Is this a regexp or some kind of string formatting? In which language?”

Ahaha I hate you. Have a great day !

Have you checked your =B=?

As a matter of fact, I’m in a committed and open relationship.

Forget the Codom and Get STIs
